Yardley and Balden

In a proceeding before Judge L. Turner, the court considered orders concerning the child X, born in 2011, and the parental responsibilities of the mother and father. The dispute centred on the living arrangements, parental responsibility, and contact arrangements for the child, as well as injunctive relief sought by the mother against the father.

The court was required to determine the primary caregiver for the child, the allocation of parental responsibility, and the extent of the father's future contact with the child. Additionally, the court had to consider whether to grant injunctions restraining the father from contacting the mother and from approaching specified locations, and to make orders preventing the child from leaving the Commonwealth of Australia.

The court ordered that all previous parenting orders and plans be discharged. It was ordered that the child X live with the mother and that the mother have sole parental responsibility. The father was prohibited from spending time with or communicating with the child, though the mother was to inform him of serious health issues and provide a photograph and milestone update every six months. Crucially, the court issued orders restraining both parties and their agents from removing the child from the Commonwealth of Australia, and the child was also restrained from leaving. The Australian Federal Police were directed to place the child's name on the Watch List at all points of arrival and departure for two years. Furthermore, pursuant to section 114 of the *Family Law Act 1975*, the father was restrained from contacting the mother and from coming within 100 metres of the mother's home, place of employment, the child's kindergarten, school, or any after-school or vacation care facility. The court also noted that any application to extend the Watch List period would require a formal application and supporting affidavit.
